an effort to ensure the wise use of taxpayers’ money, the federal government
has undertaken major initiatives to evaluate the performance and results
of federally funded programs, including research and development (R&D) programs.
The initiatives include the Government Performance and Results Act of
1993 and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Program Assessment
Rating Tool (PART), developed in 2002. The latter was designed in the context
of “performance budgeting” and “performance measurement” and focused on
evaluating the efficiency of programs.

In recent years, awareness of the vulnerability of the environment has increased, as evidenced
by new and developing international policies for environmental protection, starting with the
Rio Declaration of 1992. In the context of ionizing radiation, the existing international
approach is largely based on providing for the protection of humans, but this is being
critically reviewed in several international fora.

An Environmental impact statement (EIS), under United States Environmental law, is a document required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for certain actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment".[1] An EIS is...

Significant changes in the environmental field have required a re-evaluation of the environmental
protection programs in place around the world. Although reductions in pollution levels have been
realized in certain areas, necessary expectations for environmental protection have not been met
in spite of extensive regulatory programs and cost expenditures. This book examines new
approaches to environmental protection, including the emerging field of international environmental
law and environmental management systems...

When one is confronted with a new problem that involves the collection and analysis of data, two crucial
questions are: How will using statistics help solve this problem? And, Which techniques should be used?
This book is intended to help environmental engineers answer these questions in order to better understand
and design systems for environmental protection.
The book is not about the environmental systems, except incidentally. It is about how to extract
information from data and how informative data are generated in the first place.

When I first entered the field of environmental monitoring 33 years ago as a new
employee of a then very new U.S. federal agency called the Environmental Protection
Agency, our efforts were concentrated on primarily chasing pollutant residues in the
environment. Eight years later when I founded the international journal
Environmental
Monitoring and Assessment
that was still certainly the case.

Significant advances in subsurface containment technology occurred in the 1990s,
both with the improvement of the technology and the broader acceptance and
applications as a measure for environmental remediation. Since 1995, the U.S.
Department of Energy (USDOE), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA),
and DuPont have collaborated on a series of organized efforts to advance this
technology. In that year, these collaborators sponsored an international expert
workshop that led to the publication of the first major book on containment
technology.

An environmental impact statement (EIS), under United States environmental law, is a document required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for certain actions "significantly affecting the quality of the human environment".[1] An EIS is a tool for decision making. It describes the positive and negative environmental effects of a proposed action, and it usually also lists one or more alternative actions that may be chosen instead of the action described in the EIS. Several US state governments require that a document similar to an EIS be submitted to the state for certain actions.

This unusual book is the work of academic experts in tax law and environmental
law from five industrial countries: France, Germany, Sweden, the United King-
dom, and the United States. As far as we know, it is the first book in English
on the subject of environmental tax law—and the first book in any language to
look at this issue comparatively.

In 1994, in response to an Administrative Consent Order with the Department of Environmental
Protection, MassHighway began a comprehens ive environmental compliance initiative at its
maintenance facilities. At the outset, the Department performed a gap analysis to evaluate
MassHighway’s management structure and to determine the level of environmental compliance.
The gap analysis concluded that a significant financial and personnel investment was needed to
correct violations of regulatory requirements and to provide a method to ensure on-going
compliance.

The overall objective of the project is to reduce the use of N fertilizer use on legumes soybean and groundnut in Vietnam through by increasing legume inoculants. Replace N fertilizer with legume inoculants will provide both economic benefits and environmental benefits for farmers and reduce financial stress for poor farmers by reducing input costs. The approach is to raise awareness and demand for inoculants through an expanded program including live demonstrations of the benefits of inoculants and training in the functions and their use.

Spatial or territorial organization is one of effective tools for sustainable land use. Spatial organization of land use and environmental protection by functional sub-areas is performed on the basis of comprehensive and integrated research on characteristics and differentiation laws of natural components and landscapes, socio-economic factors, the present status and trend of environmental changes as well as the structures and functions of sub-areas. Uong Bi is a national center for tourism, coal mining and thermal power production.

Pursuant to frequent requests for information received by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the legality and effects of engine switching, this document will summarize federal law and policy pertaining to this matter, and will discuss other related issues. A. Federal Law The federal tampering prohibition is contained in section 203(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (Act), 42 U.S.C. 7522(a)(3).

Circular providing for the environmental protection of economic zones, industrial parks, export processing zones and hi-tech parks, pursuant to the June 23, 2014 Law on Environmental Protection, pursuant to the Government’s Decree No. 99/2003/ND-CP of August 28, 2003, promulgating the Regulation on hi-tech parks.

Electrochemistry has been used extensively in the past three decades to
determine the chemical composition of environmental samples from the water
column, sediments, soils, biofilms, and microbial mats.
